In Season 2 Episode 2, we sit down with Andres Martinez, a globe-trotting foreman for the Doug O’Neill barn whose journey proves just how far horses can take you.

Andres began with humble roots in Tijuana — long days in the barn, hands on horses, learning not from textbooks but from sweat, patience, and instinct. His dedication opened doors that many only dream of. Before long, the horses he cared for carried him to Churchill Downs, Japan, Dubai, and racetracks across the world.

Andres lives the life most people only see from the stands. Early mornings. Missed parties. Sacrificed hobbies. All in service to the horses he loves — braiding manes with pride, grooming with care, always showing up with heart.

He’s proof that passion can become purpose, and purpose can take you places you never imagined.

This is a story of grit, devotion, and a life shaped by the animals who gave him wings.
A story that embodies Boundless.

En el segundo episodio de la temporada dos, nos acompañó Andrés Martínez, el capataz del establo de Doug O’Neill. Su historia demuestra lo lejos que te pueden llevar los cabellos.


Andrés empezó con raíces muy humildes en Tijuana, Mexico: largas jornadas en el establo, siempre trabajando y cuidando los caballos, aprendiendo no de libros, sino de sudor, paciencia e instinto. Su dedicación le abrió puertas con las que solo unos sueñan. Antes de mucho, los caballos que cuidaba lo llevaron a Churchill Downs, Japón, Dubái y a hipódromos por todo el mundo.

Andrés vive la vida que la mayoría solo ve desde las graderías. Madrugadas. Fiestas perdidas. Pasatiempos sacrificados. Todo al servicio de los caballos que ama — trenzando crines con orgullo, acicalando con esmero, presentándose siempre con el corazón en la mano.

Es prueba de que la pasión puede convertirse en propósito, y que el propósito puede llevarte a lugares que nunca imaginaste.
Esta es una historia de coraje, entrega y una vida moldeada por los animales que le dieron alas.
Una historia que encarna Boundless.

Diane Crump: First to the Gate

Pioneer. Competitor. History-maker. In this conversation, trailblazing jockey Diane Crump—the first woman to ride in a pari-mutuel race and later the first woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby—revisits the 1960s track where she was often the only woman on the backside, the boycotts that tried to keep her out, and the surreal walk to the paddock with an armed guard as the crowd swelled around her. Diane shares why she felt relief, not nerves when the doors finally opened, the grind of galloping 20 a morning while struggling for mounts, and the infamous Puerto Rico match race that turned into a literal tug-of-war at speed.

Alongside host Dr. Ferrin Peterson—professional jockey and veterinarian—Diane reflects on faith, grit, and giving back (from answering kids’ letters to therapy-dog rounds), and offers clear-eyed advice for anyone chasing a hard dream: tune out the naysayers, find your people, and keep riding through the wire.

• Boycotts, headlines, and showing up the next day—taped collarbone and all
